Treatment With a Psychologist FAQs

What are psychologists?

Psychologists are mental health professionals that provide psychotherapy services and diagnoses for their clients. They have more research-focused training than most therapists, as they are more medically educated and receive a more general education about therapeutic approaches and theory.

How do psychologists work?

Thriveworks psychologists in Brookline, MA provide standard psychotherapy services, tailoring treatment to each client and their unique concerns. However, they can also provide diagnoses to clients when appropriate, something that therapists and counselors cannot do. Finally, in some states in the U.S., they are allowed to prescribe medication.

How long would I see a psychologist?

Psychological treatment at Thriveworks Brookline is very individualized and specific to each client, which means that the duration of treatment is often varied depending on a client’s condition or disorder, the state of their symptoms, and their specific goals.

Sarah is amazing, I don’t know what I would do without her. She and I click in a way where she understands exactly what I am trying to articulate. Her personality also balances with mine - she can make jokes, empathize, and really just engages the perfect amount. We are a great fit.

My provider has been great! We’re still in the unpacking stage and there are times that I just need to vent about my previous week so the flexibility has been nice.

I got in quickly, i have both a therapist and med manager from thriveworks and both are incredibly attentive and professional, ive suggested thriveworks to several people and they've gotten matched with a therapist pretty quickly as well. My intake process was great and was invited to make my own decision to continue based on how strongly I felt the match was. My therapist is incredible and relatable. Too bad she is my therapist and not able to just be my friend bc I think we'd hit it off
